This is the basic concept behind the automatisation. We now explain every step to an automatisation show in detail:
1.
Create a MDC Project with at least 2 Presets. Save the Project in the Documents folder and close the MDC
program (example: myproject.mdc) . For this short tutorial we asume that we have six Presets like in the
illustration example above.
2.
Open the MDC-Launcher and choose “2.0 Create Automatisation Job” and select your project (myproject.mdc) .
Confirm the message that the template (myproject.mdc_auto_template) was created.
3.
Choose “2.1 Edit Automatisation Job” and open the myproject.mdc_auto_template file. This file is a text
representation of the project you saved before. It allready contains all information to create an automatisation
job.
4.
Before you start editing the file save it under a new name like “myshow1.mdc_auto”. Take care that you do not add
the “_tempate” at the end! The reason for saving it is that if we would create the template from the project again
we would overwrite what we have done.
5.
The automatisation template file consists of the following sections - all are commented with “#” :
* Short syntax description
* Generic commands
* Layer Section with Presets, Maps and Media
Every line that starts with a “#” is later on ignored by the automatisation program.
6.
To write down a “show” like in the example before we have to translate the sequence into the OSC language. The
statesments in OSC are already written down in the Preset section. Below you see how the sequence looks like.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Between every statement/command there MUST BE a Hold/Sleep for at least 250ms (S=250).
7.
Once you finished writing your sequence you can save it and close the editor. To start/test the sequence start
your MDC project with “1.0 Select a MDC Project” and wait until it is loaded. Now select “2.2 Debug Automatisation
